I can't bring myself not to finish a book I have started (only 1 in ten years) - have a pile waiting to read - ah time where have you hidden yourself!!?alberta rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132420168908365099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701102306051247517.post-11995243895601938382011-08-09T05:25:45.553-07:002011-08-09T05:25:45.553-07:00Aww, sorry to hear you haven't had a good book...Aww, sorry to hear you haven't had a good book in a little while. I've never read Dr Zhivago either, maybe it's time I added it to the TBR pile...<br />Your son's story is very cute! Looking forward to see what you guys have planned for Grade 6.

Never read 2nd person pov before. Too weird. <br /><br />@Nancy - yes, the morning pages have a way of drawing me back to them. <br /><br />@Karen - those sound good. Will have to check them out.<br /><br />@Rebecca - Thanks<br /><br />@Doree - it is frustrated when it happens a few times in a row. :(<br /><br />@Tia - That's why after a bad book, will read or reread something by favorite author.

I always hate to start another book after a bad one. But all it takes is a good book to reboot me. Hope your next one is that book.<br /><br />You are busy, busy. I'm impressed. Good luck with the week ahead.Tia Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336780518125138789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701102306051247517.post-10793379636767876522011-08-07T20:54:44.095-07:002011-08-07T20:54:44.095-07:00The anxiety of the bad book bite: I start catching...The anxiety of the bad book bite: I start catching up on my reading and think I'm going to reach the goal and then I read a book that I finally make it to my stopping point (if I can't get into it by chapter six it's a bust)and by then, I've lost momentum. It takes me a couple of weeks to get excited about another book. Grrrr.<br />Good luck on your goals with ROW80.Doree L Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14361060440964852027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701102306051247517.post-45495215596154334232011-08-07T20:08:37.808-07:002011-08-07T20:08:37.808-07:00There's nothing worse than looking forward to ...There's nothing worse than looking forward to a book, only to be let down when you read it. I have such little time for writing these days that I really hate to waste energy on a book that is less than brilliant.<br />Sometimes life does get in the way and all we can do is try to work around it. If you didn't get as much done this week as you would have liked, you can always catch up later :)DarkWyvernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055457321532181508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701102306051247517.post-46363371984320501332011-08-07T15:49:34.362-07:002011-08-07T15:49:34.362-07:00You are doing better at your reading challenges th...You are doing better at your reading challenges than I am. :( Fortunately, I've read some great books lately - INCENDIARY and CLOSE YOUR EYES.

Sometimes I've spilled all I can spill in that kind of writing, but then it comes back.<br /><br />Good job plugging away on the WIP. Progress is progress; remember that half-full glass!<br /><br />I've run into the same thing with some of the books I'm reading to review; it's so disappointing when I don't even want to finish a book.<br /><br />Thanks for the tips and the links!<br />I hope you have a great week!<br />NancyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701102306051247517.post-49121099359759465012011-08-07T13:05:28.865-07:002011-08-07T13:05:28.865-07:00Oh, don't you hate to be disappointed by books...Oh, don't you hate to be disappointed by books you're reading?<br /><br />I don't like confusing POV.
